I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Target (Plainfield, IN) in Jan 2010
Interview
Initial communication was a phone call from a recruiter from the company. The recruiter asked a few situational interview questions during this phone call. After those questions, they scheduled a phone interview 3 days later. The phone interview lasted 30 minutes and consisted of mostly situational questions such as "Give me an example of a time you had to coach a difficult employee and what you did to bring about a change in their behavior?" There were also questions such as "What would your boss say is something you need to work on or what would your employees say you need to work on?" Overall the questions were very typical of what you would expect in the first interview with a company.

Interview
I first went through a phone interview that lasted about 45 minutes after being contacted by a college recruiter for Target. I was then asked to take a screening/IQ test that had about 95 questions. After that I was invited to the the distribution center where I was given a tour of the facility along with a short presentation. After the presentation there were 3 separate interviews each with 2 staff members ranging from HR reps to the General Manager of the building. Each set of interviews lasted 45 minutes and consisted of 5 behavioral questions. After the interviews I was contacted within a week by telephone where they let me know I did not receive the position.
